Instructions

Step 1: Combine 2 1/4 cups bread flour, 1 tsp active dry yeast, and 3/4 tsp salt in a bowl. Add 1 cup warm water and 1 tbsp olive oil and mix until a dough forms. Knead for 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 2: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise 1 hour until doubled.
Step 3: Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone inside for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4: Roll dough out very thinly on a floured surface to a 14-inch circle.
Step 5: Transfer dough to a pizza peel dusted with flour or cornmeal. Spread 3/4 cup pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
Step 6: Sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, arrange 30 slices pepperoni, and scatter 1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms on top.
Step 7: Sprinkle 1 tsp dried oregano evenly.
Step 8: Slide pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 9: Remove pizza, let cool 3 minutes, then slice and serve.
